He had no formal education beyond initiation in Quran, Hadith and some Persian literature[9] and when it was insisted upon he refused and began to spend time with fakirs or saints and Qalandars.

[citation needed] He started calligraphy of Quranic verses to raise money to feed himself and his disciples.
